Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDominic Baril is a robotics-focused mechanical engineer and PhD researcher with eight years of experience building robust autonomy for off-road and winter environments. As co-founder and CEO of Tessellate Robotics, he leads development of resilient localization and mapping technologies, while his doctoral work at Norlab advances path-following and motion models for mobile robots in harsh conditions. He bridges hands-on hardware experience—from designing haptic robotic arms and outfitting a scaled autonomous car—to rigorous research, enabling practical, field-ready solutions. Based in Quebec, Dominic combines startup leadership with deep academic grounding in robotics, often tackling the uncommon challenge of winter robustness that many autonomy teams overlook.
